TODAY’S GOSPEL READING
For today, I’m going to fall back to a couple of my favorite posts regarding the encounter between Jesus and the centurion. One of my absolute favorite Gospel events and immortalized by Ernest Borgnine in the classic movie Jesus of Nazareth.
As a bonus, check out this fine article on this biblical episode.
